This is literally a public beta. Did anyone even read what they said......

It's one thing to release a product saying it's the full thing with a bunch of bugs. This is the beta and they are asking us to help find bugs which is what a beta is. 

doesnt matter to me

I havent seen anything released in last few yrs that didnt need updating

honestly it doesnt really bother me hence my statement purchased beta

I am eso player since its real beta lol

[Taja]

Nothing wrong here. Why are ppl whining?

 

And for the love of god, just DONT PRE ORDER. I have preordered only 2 gamee because I knew I would play them no matter what, and I know that I cant complain because I preordered and that was my choice and Mine alone.

 

And why are ppl getting mad about tomb raider? Ppl sound like babies, "oh I paid full price and now that its cheaper thats bad because other people will have it better than me" - stupid logic of not wanting other people to have good things when you dont.

I am just saying that people are complaining that they are about to release beta with bugs is just dumb. 

[suicidalfranco]

>bethesda game

>buggy as every game they've released

>not on steam 

>always online

>so virtually no chance of community patch mods

>people expecting this to be different from previous releases

 

Is the gaming community that brain dead when it comes to Bethesda?

I cant complain about it

my statement

its practically how it works now days

 

too many variables (hardware to existing software on a pc along with drivers)now days for a company to fix everything

 

I honestly think companies should have longer open betas or sectional betas to test random areas of a game also and by being a beta tester offer coupons and/or discounts on game/dlc/etc

I know some do but I think it should be common practice

Why spend millions on RND when you can rush out a product, see how much it breaks, fix it and then sell it under either a renewed version or different brand.

[Slayerking92]

That was the reason i went with the PC version, too many game breaking bugs.  At least with the PC version you can open the console and cheat past some of them.  I was affected with one in New Vegas, where you couldn't zone into the city without wearing a specific cowboy hat.

Preorder is bad man. Batman Arkham Knight is a good example why you shouldn't preorder games. 

[Franck]

have they ever released a game without bugs and have they ever fixed them ? this does not surprise me coming from that company.

look at how Tomb Raider got buried into oblivion and had a 34% discount on the game that was released less than 30 ago

Didn't this happen with the previous Tomb Raider as well? It probably doesn't help that it was released between some big games like Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming up soon and Spider-Man for the PS4 was released before it.

previously they shot themselves in the foot by making TR2 a PS4 exclusive, came to PC after 4 months, came to XBox after a year, so yeah no one cared at that point.

You should never buy them at launch, there are very few exceptions in my case where i trust in the studio and buy their game so early.

Nintendo games?

Nope, one of them is CDPR, the other is the dev's of the God of War franchise .

It's always a good sign to pre-order when a company makes a public statement that their new products will have severe faults. Imagine the positive outcome a car company would have with this business practice.

There are plenty of bugs in the original Skyrim still present in the Switch version that the modding community had both reported and when fixes were not forthcoming fixed on their own. Their presence on the Switch version means that Bethesda doesn't give a damn about bugs unless they're completely game breaking.

[Misanthrope]

"We need your help" Should read as "You're a bunch of mindless fucking fanboys that will pay us to test this shit for us so yeah expect broken fucking shit, keep giving us money while we keep pushing the bar of how bad launches are"

We will just have to wait and see I guess. 

[maartendc]

If you really read the whole thing they posted they are basically just saying:

 

" Hey we are excited about this game, please help us find the bugs so we can make it better"

 

They are saying this to BETA TESTERS. So, yes, pretty obvious. There is no real news story here.

Games always get cheaper with time so if you buy on release then you should expect others to get it cheaper eventually. It was a bit sooner than normal but the end result is the same. Honestly I am a bit biased because I am a huge Bethesda fan ever since I played oblivion as a kid. I preordered knowing that buggy or not I will play it all the same. 

[i_build_nanosuits]

can't remember of a single bethesda game that wasn't filled with bugs and issues at launch...so this is nothing new

As a big fan of the Fallout series, i'm skipping 76 and have absolutely no interest in it.
